Established in 1991, EMEC has grown to be a successful practice and a leader in its field. Its expanding client base reflects its ability to provide accurate, cost-effective solutions to its clients’ varied ecological needs.

EMEC employs a team of highly skilled ecologists who have a wealth of practical experience and a strong client-focused approach. All staff are encouraged and trained to become members of the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (IEEM) and all work is carried out in accordance with IEEM’s Code of Practice.

Based in the heart of the East Midlands, EMEC operates for its clients throughout the UK. It serves developers, planners, architects, power and extraction industries, utility companies, local authorities, government agencies and private individuals. Its varied portfolio of work ranges from major national research contracts and large-scale ecological impact assessments for housing and industry, through to management planning for nature reserves.

Most ecological surveys and mitigation work can best be undertaken at specific times of the year (click here for an ecological calendar). Thus, involving EMEC at a project’s inception will help to avoid delay and allow the most effective service to be provided.

As a company, EMEC is committed to the principles of sustainable development. Its advice regularly enables clients to reduce the ecological impact of their operations. Wherever possible it works with clients to secure ecological gain.

EMEC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust and profits are gift-aided to the Trust to support its conservation work.
